I realize that this has nothing to do with ponds or fish, but I sure could use a little advice from someone who's been there and done that. Lots of intelligent and handy folks here on the forum, And I would love to get as much input as possible.

We're going to be moving sometime in the next few months, and we are in the planning stages for a kitchen upgrade/overhaul in the house we're moving into. My question has to do with the choices in flooring material. We love the look of hardwood, and we have researched natural as well as laminate flooring.

Trouble is, there appears to be a concern over the inevitable spills and the resulting water damage. We think we want a continuous run of flooring from the kitchen into the dining room and living area, but we're bound to have spills, and water on the floor sooner than later.

Anyone here have wood or laminate flooring, and have you experienced any water damage? Swelling, splitting, cracking? Would you recommend it for a kitchen?

Thanks!

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
